Briton Caroline Dubois believes a future showdown with Alycia Baumgardner would be “the biggest fight in women’s boxing.”<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old WBC lightweight world champion shared heated words with Baumgardner in December when both fighters appeared on the undercard of Jake Paul v Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n
Dubois – who turned professional in 2022 – has repeatedly called out the experienced American unified super-featherweight world champion.<\/p>\n
“Let’s be real – she wants to become a superstar, but you need a superstardom fight,” Dubois told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n
“You need two to tango. We both need each other. When it happens, I believe it will be the biggest fight in women’s boxing.”<\/p>\n
Dubois, a highly rated southpaw long touted as the future of women’s boxing, expects the match-up to take place in 2027.<\/p>\n
“That’s one more year of building and making things happen,” she says. “I hope she sees the benefit of that. I wouldn’t want her to run away from that fight.”<\/p>\n
Before that, however, Dubois wants a unification fight with Doncaster’s WBO lightweight champion Terri Harper later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Briton Caroline Dubois believes a future showdown with Alycia Baumgardner would be “the biggest fight in women’s boxing.”…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":359002,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-359451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=359451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/359002"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=359451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=359451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=359451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
